Summary
This proposal formalizes macOS ARM (Apple Silicon, darwin/arm64) as the supported macOS platform for gopy, effective immediately.
CI will require tests to pass on macOS ARM; a failing macOS ARM run blocks merge, just as a failing Linux run does. macOS Intel (darwin/amd64) is not being actively broken or removed. However, it will not be a gated CI target and will not be considered a supported platform.
Any future proposal to reinstate macOS Intel should include a dedicated CI runner, a maintainer willing to own it, and a passing test matrix (mirroring the approach taken in #387).
Apple Silicon is now the default Mac hardware, GitHub Actions provides hosted ARM runners, and support for macos on Intel add cost without a clear benefit.
As a timeline, I'm hoping that we as a gopy community can make a decision on this proposal by May 19, 2026.
